* Excludes inmates executed after September 30, 1996. Beginning October 1, 1996, death row inmates are given one death warrant that remains in effect until their sentence is carried out. Previously, inmates were issued death warrants lasting for a limited time. If those warrants expired prior to the inmate's execution, another warrant would have to be issued before the inmate could be executed.
